Strut Assembly: Reassembly

  1. Install new gas type shock absorber assembly into strut and tighten ring nut with spanner wrench. Attach label, furnished with shock absorber, over drilled hole to prevent water entry.
    NOTE: Coil springs have color marks to indicate spring identification and load classification. Ensure when springs are replaced, markings are for appropriate vehicle.
  2. Install coil spring. Extend piston rod assembly and install strut components. Ensure rubber bumper is attached to spring upper seat with a heat resistant drying adhesive before installing. Align "D" shaped hole in center of spring upper seat with machined flat on piston rod shaft.
  3. Align locating holes or grooves in upper and lower seats with spring locating pins. Hold seat and install insulator by attaching new self-locking nut. Remove spring compressor. Pack strut insulator bearing with grease and install dust cap.
